Chronic comorbidities and risk of 30-day mortality in hip fracture patients– a Danish National patient registry study
This study shows the significant impact of chronic comorbidities as well as sex and fracture type on 30-day mortality in hip fracture patients. Patients with multiple chronic comorbidities had the highest risk of increased 30-day mortality. These findings underline the importance of interventions such as orthogeriatric care to lower 30-day mortality risk for these patients.
